Doing the “speakeasy” experience on the Margaritaville at Sea Islander When, like me, you’re a Jimmy Buffett fan, you keep your ears open for opportunities to honor your favorite singer’s legacy. Jimmy died in September 2023, and for many of us, it was a huge loss. If you’re a late-40s Parrothead like me, you might…
